Here is the look at the footballers from France playing for German giants Bayern Munich. The Bavarians have signed several French players over the years and the country over the last decade used to account for the second largest contingent on the Bayern roster (behind Germany)
List of French players at Bayern Munich as of June 1, 2026 (first team squad at the end of the 2025/26 season before the World Cup)
1) Dayot Upamecano- joined Bayern in 2021 from Leipzig
2) Sacha Boey- joined Bayern in 2024 from Galatasaray
3) Michael Olise- joined Bayern in 2024 from Crystal Palace
How many French players are at Bayern Munich currently?
Currently, there are three French players in the Bayern first team squad- Dayot Upamecano, Sacha Boey and Michael Olise.
Raphael Guerreiro is Portuguese but was born in France and came through the youth ranks at Caen.
At the beginning of this decade (in 2021 and 2022), Bayern had the likes of Lucas Hernandez, Benjamin Pavard, Bouna Sarr (Senegalese but born in France), Tanguy Nianzou Kouassi, Corentin Tolisso, Kingsley Coman, Mickael Cuisance and Mathys Tel- all French players, in their ranks. They also had a French speaking German in the form of Leroy Sane in their team.
And on top of this you have players like Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane, who should definitely understand French as well despite being German.
Quite a big French contingent then…
